Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Flammability
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Data waiving:
- study technically not feasible
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid
- other:
- Justification for type of information:
- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
According to REACh Annex XI / section 2, flammability study UN N1 relevant for classification criteria under IUCLID Section 4.13 does not apply to liquids. Please refer to Flash Point under IUCLID section 4.11. - Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to other study
Reference
Description of key information
According to REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 Annex XI, the flammability is deduced from flash point (115°C, literature; see IUCLID section 4.11).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
A waiver is proposed for this endpoint. Moreover, the substance has a long history of use as a flame retardant and can therefore justifiably be considered to be non-flammable.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 (CLP) criteria, the measured flash point is above the threshold values of 60°C, therefore the substance is NOT considered as a flammable liquid.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
